Costuming for this production is simplified to what we have in our costume closet and a DIY concept, in which we ask parents to “shop” the dancers closet for their looks.

Costuming Details as well as Ticket Sales, Performance times and details will be sent out later this fall.

If your dancer is NOT participating in our winter showcase, we ask that you notify DEAC via email [email protected] by SEPT 30.
